To be honest, I still haven't bought a hardware wallet. It's not that I don't trust them, but I feel like my little bit of money... doesn't deserve 😅. My friends keep telling me "security awareness should come first," but I did the math: I have my funds spread across three hot wallets, each not exceeding one month's rent. If I really lose them, I'll just accept it.



I have looked into multi-sig. I set up a 2/3 treasury for my DeFi earnings, but one time I slipped and signed the wrong contract, almost scaring my teammates to death. Social recovery? It looks good on paper, but choosing three "guardians" is harder than choosing coins. What if they fall out one day or lose their accounts? Who would I cry to?

Recently, that chain is about to upgrade again, and everyone in the group is saying a certain project is moving away. I, on the other hand, didn't move. I used to be too obsessed with chasing "on-chain signals" – following whichever address moved. It was exhausting and I kept catching falling knives. Now I've learned my lesson: I take a quick look on-chain, scan Twitter sentiment, and if the two don't match, I just skip it. To put it bluntly, the same goes for security solutions – if your scale isn't there yet, forcing a complex architecture is just a burden... I'll leave it as is for now, and only worry about it when I have an amount that would keep me up at night if lost.
